Carey Feazel

Sadly, I have to report that we have lost another friend. Carey passed on January 6, 2023, a few days after he posted a picture at Renderosity. His user name there was fritters56. He loved his birds & dogs. Here is the bio that he posted.

I am a disabled vet and long time poser addict. degree in commercial art from Lansing Community college. Married to the same fine woman for over 35 years. I was a good 2D artist. Diabetes has taken much of my fine motor control. I basically have use of only two fingers on each hand now and I am pretty weak. I work in a number of 3D applications, but mainly in poser and Hexagon. Though I am trying to learn SIlo. I also have a short term memory problem so learning new things is hard for me, but I keep on plugging away....

Are you sure it was him?

This is sad news. I used to communicate with him quite often back when I used to use Facebook. Though, I could have sworn I had seen him post more recently? Maybe I am wrong, the days all just run together for me lately - it is hard to keep track of time anymore.

Very sad. It's definitely true - I just Googled him and found this:

Carey Feazel Obituary - Lansing, MI

 

[KageRyu]

yeah, I recognize him in that picture. I know he has been in declining health for a very long time. I can recall several times when I was still on Facebook he had been briefly hospitalized. I haven't been on Facebook Early since 2019.

 

[Flint_Hawk]

I recognized him too & his bird! I enjoyed corresponding with him!

 

[DanaTA]

Very sad. I didn't know him well, be we messaged a couple of times in here.

 

[Stezza]

I did ask in a post eerily three days after he passed... such sad news to hear that he is no longer here..

 

[KageRyu]

I remember when, at one point, Carey had made a bunch of renders of people and animals and characters flashing a thumbs up. he had started to reply to posts in one of the Poser Groups that he liked with these images. I can't remember which group (I was in four and two kept changing names and ownership. It caught a few people off guard, and he was almost dissuaded from continuing to do so. I still vaguely remember us talking about it in PMs, he was just trying to be humorous and unique in his responses as he felt just hitting the like button was so impersonal. I believe he even continued posting these custom thumbs up at times here and on Rendo. It seems he tried to bring levity and humor to all of his interactions and tried to be positive and bright even when things were dark. From my interactions he seemed a very considerate person who was sometimes misunderstood.

@Stezza I am sorry I missed that inquiry. I have been too much in my own head for far too long...and it's dark and scary and timeless in here.

Sad News...
Maybe it's time to make a post on Renderosity....?

Awww.. that is sad news indeed. From my dealings with him here in our forums he was such a lovely person/upbeat even given all he had been through and was dealing with.

This is indeed very sad news, as I always enjoyed his graphic work and comments.

R.I.P. Carey!!

I used to message Carey quite a bit when these forums were more active. He was always kind and thoughtful, and absolutely adored his birds. He loved making 3 D art and put enormous thought and effort into his renders.

It is so sad to hear about anyone passing, those that have been active on the forum have an extra edge. Having been a diabetic for more years than I wish to remember I am aware of the way it can impact a victim's ability to get on with life. By the sounds of it the Diabetes and life seems to have been particularly cruel to him so at least he is now free from pain. My thoughts go out to his family and particularly his wife, 35 years is a very long time, particularly these days. My wife and I have been married for 42 years now and I just do not know how I would cope without her so I hope his wife finds both a way to cope and the support she will clearly need.

May he rest in peace.

I don't know him personally, but I also adored his beautiful birds .. May he R.I.P and my condolences to his wife and his family and friends.
Always sad to hear that kind of news
